Christian parents are tasked by God to raise their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This is not confined to simply making sure they have a roof over their head and get their nose wiped. Rather, this task is the all encompassing instruction of children. They are to be taught about this world in light of the fact that God Almighty has created and redeemed this world. Children are to grow up rejoicing in the way in which God has done all this.
But modern parents have been coaxed into lending the blessing that is their children to the carnal appetites of godless activists for 12 years. We live in a wasteland of education. Public spending on education skyrockets, while academic scores plummet. If that weren’t enough, there is a rising tide of marred and mangled bodies, pervertedminds, and clouded thinking. Mix all this together and you end up with children who grow up with a godless worldview.
Join us for Grace Agenda 2023 as we look to encourage Christian parents in the glorious task of raising their children to love and worship the Lord, to lead in their generation, and to be the sort of faithful saints that can do the same for their own children.

"Getting Christian kids out [of public schools] should have happened a long time ago."
Yes! I was saved in the late 80s. I did not grow up in a Christian family. I had just a few months left before high school graduation. Even at that young physical and spiritual age, I suddenly realized... everything I've ever learned was a lie. A bit of hyperbole, but not by much. I realized I had to unlearn so much. I realized I had to think in an entirely different way. I realized that I'd wasted my whole life sitting in classrooms without anything remotely resembling a biblical worldview. I didn't know the term "biblical worldview." Or even the term, "worldview." I just understood what had been done to me. No one had to say this to me. I didn't (first) learn it in my church. It was a realization as I read the Bible and sought to obey, "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Christians so often forget the MIND part. As I continued growing spiritually, I could not understand how Christian parents could have their kids all day, five days a week, in a place that didn't talk about God at all. And that was at a time when American culture was not nearly as hostile and explicitly anti-Christian as it is now.
THAT'S IT!
(Though, I am way past "vaguely dissatisfied" with what I see going on, and I do know how to articulate it. I just can't find anyone to listen to me. Or find any way to do something about it.)
